Painting of the Month

Botticelli, 'The Mystic Nativity', 1500

Shepherds and wise men worship the newly-born Christ, but that's just the beginning. Botticelli filled his painting with other figures which all help to proclaim a message of peace and joy, of good triumphing over evil. Angels dance in the heavens as devils scurry back into the underworld, defeated in the face of such love.
